Apple's iPads underwent a price hike this past summer. However, one mobile carrier is taking as much as $400 off Apple's base iPad with Cellular.
For a limited time, you can get the 11-inch iPad (A16/Cellular) on sale for $199 at T-Mobile when you open a new Tablet Unlimited Plus 2.0 Plan. You'll receive the $400.99 via monthly credits over the span of 36 months. Sure, you'll have to buy a data plan for your iPad, but it's the cheapest price we've seen for it yet.
The base iPad is the tablet we recommend for just about anyone. Sure, the A16 Bionic chipset isn't as powerful as the A20 Pro, but the 11-inch iPad (A16) is still a solid device. You get a large 11-inch display to do all those tablet-y things an iPad is good for. Whether that's reading, streaming, drawing, or writing. You'll need an Apple Pencil USB-C for the latter two, and that costs extra, but it's a very useful accessory.
In terms of battery life, in our 11-inch iPad A16 review the iPad A16 lasted 11 hours and 25 minutes on a single charge. That's a respectable time for an entry-level tablet. If you're looking for a simple iPad experience, without the high price tag of other Apple tablets (and the iPhone Duo), then this iPad deal is for you.
